Abstrakt: Purpose of Review: Zonisamide (ZNS) was first approved in the United States in 2000 for the adjunctive treatment of patients aged 16 years or older with partial (focal) seizures. Although ZNS has been proven to treat multiple seizure types, it has been largely underutilized in US clinical practice.
Recent Findings: Published literature demonstrated that antiseizure medications (ASMs) acting on Na + and Ca 2+ channels may add beneficial effects in many seizure types by reducing seizure frequency and leading to overall improvements. In addition, effects of ZNS may lead to clinical improvements in Parkinson disease, alcohol and sleep disorders, pain, and migraine. ZNS is available in multiple formulations and is a safe and effective, broad spectrum ASM.
Summary: The purpose of this review was to provide an update to what is known about the efficacy of ZNS and where it shows benefits in the treatment of patients with epilepsy and other CNS disorders through its many unique mechanisms of action.

Its multiple mechanisms of action (MOAs) allow for coadministration with ASMs of different MOAs, increasing medication efficacy, and reducing seizure frequency.→ ZNS is a safe and effective ASM with therapeutic indications in multiple epilepsy etiologies and with potential benefits in other disease states.
